Another smash hit is just on the go today when we with true honesty brings another huge release to the PHW imprint, this time from the great US producer Josh Abrams. With a huge range of releases on some of the top labels in the game, including Lowbit, Stripped, Baroque, Balkan Connection and Liquid Grooves to mention some of them, we of course feel privileged to have him on our PHW roster. "Fox Trot" is a brutal production when it comes to sound design where less is better. With a really small but yet energetic melody that works through the track, we feel that the enormous bass riff is what it is all about here, it's just massive and driving! On remix duty we have landed some really cool interpretations from cool name being close to the label. First up is what we feel is somehow a regular now on PHW, the great and effective Russian producer Ewan Rill. With his latino inspired remix, he once more showcase what a rare talent he is. 2nd up, we are to bring back the rising producer from Poland, Bartek Szczurek aka Reiklavik. he has come up with a driving piece of progressive house here, bringing in some acoustic guitar play as well, to give the production a whole other feel. It's deep, crunchy and laid back, all in the same production, it's just lovely stuff. Last out this time is a welcome return from one of Argentinas rising producers, Dayon. Winning the Ad Brown competition back on Colorize some months ago in stiff competition, he for sure now is on the verge of a real breakthrough. Here he is with a more uptempo remix, with some really cool trance influences. It's gives a really cool twist to the original ideas from Josh and we are certain you all will find your way to like this release, we for sure do love the full package!

Fox Trot (Ewan Rill Remix)

Thee-O started DJing at the young age of 13 and by the time he was 18 in 1992, he started DJing in the thriving underground rave scene of Southern California. He has created a name for himself while changing genres and staying true to his integrity, committing to what he feels is the best in underground dance music. His consistency of skillful mixing and lively scratching has cemented “his sound” regardless of what genres co-mingle in his style.

In addition to his DJing, Thee-O is also an accomplished producer and remixer that have landed tracks on Bedrock, Suara, Perfecto, Looq, Drops and System Recordings to name just a few. His approach to music production mimics his DJing artistry in the aspect that genre comes second over the feeling of the music. Genres and styles are split, shattered and then reformed into songs that work on multiple dance floors.

Recently, he was DJing and producing with Robert Pointer (AKA Robtronik) under the name Stylus. Stylus is also responsible for some of the most engaging events to occur in Los Angeles . Their events have occurred in amazing venues such as King King in the heart of Hollywood, The Standard Rooftop in downtown LA and Los Globos in the trendy Silverlake area, while attracting international talent of both House and Techno to join in on the fun. Thee-O also continues to work with the LA Based "re:love" crew to plan and execute the legendary park parties as well as pushing the brand to extend itself into new venues and opportunities.

As of January 2019, Thee-O has relocated to Honolulu. He is already DJing on the islands and has played for events at venues like Nextdoor and Hawaiian Brian’s as well as the Tropical Oasis Retreat in Maui. While he is on the islands, the slower pace of life will allow him to work on music with less distractions and should increase his output. 

While a lot can be talked about when it comes to “Old School,” Thee-O walks the walk. He has accomplished a lot in his 24 years of being a DJ, producer and promoter and he is just getting started. He remains wildly popular while staying firmly planted into the underground scene and not falling into the hype that can surround the current EDM culture. With a new island home, new ventures, new branding, new tracks, and new ideas, the future is going to be one for the books with lots more to come from this music innovator.
